don't do it for the

impression

under
spells
see the little
robots
moving in a robot
fashion
executing missions
with all their little robot
passion
they are under
spells
under spells, under
spells
under spells, under spells
under spells, under
spells
powerful machinery
driven by robot pride
and they will stop at
nothing
robo-god is on their
side
'cause they are under
spells
under spells, under
spells
under spells, under
spells
under spells, under
spells
(this is for real!
how do you feel?
kinda queasy?
life isn't easy...
your heart gets
broken
blow it wide open!
under the surface
a higher
purpose...

Die Bildniskunst

Das
romische Herrscherbild
*taken from a German book about
ancient Roman architecture,
music
by Michael
D'Amico and Bunny Brown
my life in
dreams
dreamt about fate like
fireworks
watched events collide
dreamt of a
chessboard
all the men were on one
side
i don't know why it
comes
i don't know what it
means
buts it's my life in
dreams
dreamt of an upper
chamber
filled with tables and
chairs
i was in the basement
and i couldn't
get upstairs
i don't know why it
comes
i don't know what it
means
but it's my life in
dreams
lately, feels like something's
wrong
singing but my voice is
gone
trying but i
can't find a way
speechless, got nothing to say
so it seems i
live my life in dreams
dreamt of a beaded
bracelet
on a high glass
shelf
started on the left, then
slowly
squirmed to center
itself
i don't know why it
comes
i don't know what it
means
but it's my life in dreams
witless
witness
there
is a line that cuts it fine
between
what's yours and what is mine
and
yet it binds at different times
you
stop to find you're of two minds
unattached
we live the bachelor life
except
for just one catch
the
little string encircling our necks
has
left us dangling
that's
life scaring you witless
where
the flesh meets the bone
it
might be none of my
business
that
you feel so
alone |
i don't have the physical
fitness
to right the
wrongs
that were done
i'm just a
compassionate witness
to
my own
is
it rare that one should care
about
what is and isn't fair?
is
it wise to take advice
from
vampires and poltergeists?
would
it be naive to try
retrieve
the pie out of
the sky?
is
it enough to prove
you're tough
by
killing the
things that you
love?
Hallucinations
you
can sleep in through the afternoon
but
in the evening it'll find you
wake
up, surround yourself
'cause
you're getting no help
no
help at all, on such a great waiting list
and
when you find out how long it'll take
you'll
find out what patience is
locked
out, thrown away the key
smashed
windows of opportunity
no
peace, no fun and no sex with anyone
no
hope in hell can make a wild optimist
can
make a rudely defiant lover
out
of a crude scientist
moon
is dark, don't make me go there
don't
make me go there alone
moon
is cold, don't make me go there
don't
make me go there alone...
no
help, no not a hint
it's
so pathetic it's brilliant
so
go on without a clue
and
remember i love you
lost
articles
i'm
at my best when i'm alone
and
no-one else can see
i'm
my best when i'm alone
so
why don't you love me?
so
why don't you love me?
so
why don't you love me?
why
don't you love?...
devious
fish
in the water and stars in the sky
all
things in their right places
but
for the stars whose lights are dim
and
all the fish that can't swim
i'm
decomposing a soluble song
for
singing mice through mazes
but
shortest routes will have to wait
'cause
i was born to deviate
devious
(i'm a deep-sea diver)
written
on my face (i'm a mountain
climber)
devious
(i'm an overwhelmer)
my
favorite place (i'm an underminer)
devious
(i'm a faulty wire)
hear
it in my voice (i'm a house on
fire)
a
curious (i'm ghost insider) furious
noise
excuse me
excuse me for
interrupting
your perversion, your
feculence
but have you
considered
an alternative to
impotence
as a way of
living?
excuse me for
bursting
that balloon that you
inhabit
and the security and the
mediocrity
all consolations for
obedience
to self-betrayal
excuse me please
excuse me, but how did you
lose?
was it in a convenience
store
or just in passing a yield
sign
by the road-side of
life
en route to Deadsville?
excuse me please
excuse me, or better,
use me, this poet is
writing and it's so
exciting to be angry
to be smitten by the
bug of balladry so
excuse me please

send
in the clones
another
bull-dozer, another pit
but
you can't stop the dead
that
refuse to stay buried
so
take a cold shower
then
take a stroll
through
the smoke and the mirrors
of
your wasteland urban sprawl
with
all the stars in your blind eyes
and
all the clouds in your deaf ears
the
grave new world in your foaming jaws
tear
it to bits with your teeth and claws
and
now the train's coming
stuck
on the tracks
with
the freaks to the left
and
the cavemen to the right
they'll
spill their true colours
make
sad rainbows
black
as crypts in the night
white
as PT Barnum's ghost
isn't
it rich? aren't we a pair?
if
only there were more of us out there!
anyway
live so that others
might
share your goodwill
today
the cause is a noble
one
do it anyway
what are you waiting
for
why can't you take the
lead
don't tell me you're
afraid
that you might
succeed
it won't do
waiting 'round for a trickle
down
when it's your own
crude
they are pumping out of the
ground
love so that others
might
let your heart be a
flame
they may never see the
light
do it just the
same
fire the board
the president and the
CEO
be the brains of the
outfit
use your charisma and your
machismo
ma-cheesy-mo
put on your show
and as you go
live so that others might
share your goodwill
today
the cause is a noble
one
do it anyway
